Geisinger Anesthesia being Green!

Green Initiative in Anesthesia:


  • A Success Story The anesthesia department is proud to announce a significant milestone in our green initiative. By decreasing the use of desflurane, reserving it solely for educational purposes, we have made remarkable strides in both environmental and financial sustainability. We are now spending just a fifth of what we previously did! This achievement is a testament to the diligent work and commitment of the anesthesia team. Your efforts not only contribute to a healthier planet but also demonstrate responsible resource management. Congratulations to everyone involved in this initiative for their dedication and hard work.

Cost Savings with Sugammadex:


  • A Year in Review Over the past year, the department has made significant strides in optimizing the dosing of sugammadex, leading to substantial cost savings. Under the leadership of Chris, we have collaborated with the pharmacy to compound sugammadex into smaller vials at four different sites across three regions. This strategic approach has not only ensured precise dosing but also minimized waste. This initiative has had a remarkable side effect: significant cost savings. By focusing on accurate dosing, we have been able to reduce expenses without compromising patient care. This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team. Chris’s collaboration with the pharmacy has been instrumental in this success, demonstrating the power of teamwork and innovation in healthcare. Congratulations to everyone involved in this initiative. Your efforts are making a difference, both financially and in the quality of care we provide.
